Rise Of The Billionaire Son

Someone Has Paid Your Bail

“You fucker!” Mike pointed at Chris angrily. He held his nose, screaming in pain. 

“Kill that bastard!” He ordered Reid and Ren.

Immediately, they all rushed forward tackling him to the ground. Chris’s body was used to clean the muddy floor of the court while they dealt him blows upon blows. 

“Let me go! You bastards!” Chris didn’t relent as he struggled against them. He wanted to go free but they overpowered him. 

“I will kill you!” Mike threw a punch straight at Chris’s neck and immediately he felt his body convulse. 

Blood spurted out of Chris’s mouth as he began to shake uncontrollably. 

“Is he dying?” Reid asked, seeing how he was shaking. 

“Right! Let’s end him!” They continued the beatings.

At the same time, the sounds of police sirens resounded outside the court. 

“Someone called the police!” One of the onlookers notified them. Reid, Ren, and Mike were quick to get their hands off Chris standing aside as three police officers rushed into the court. 

“What is going on here?” They raised their guns, wanting to just scare them. 

“School violence, I guess.” Another police officer answered as he looked around. 

Chris’s body had already stopped convulsing, he was unconscious. 

The police officers immediately rounded everyone into a corner and started to question them. One of them went to help Chris up, waking him up with splashing water. 

“What happened here?” They started their questioning. 

“That guy attacked Mike.” 

“Yes! He rushed out of that storehouse and suddenly stopped Mike from confessing to his lover. He disrupted everything here.” 

They started to put all the blame on Chris, no one supported him. 

However, the police officers looked from Chris to everyone else. “It doesn't seem like that to us.” Chris looked more battered and now they turned their gaze on the said Mike. 

“You see, officers.” Mike stepped forward, seeing they were suspicious of him. He then wiped the blood on his nose.”This guy certainly attacked me. My father, Mr. Moyes, would not like someone attacking his son, would he?” 

“What?” The police officers were shocked. “You are Mr. Moyes's son? The richest man in the country?”

“Yes.” Mike was puffed with pride. “I guess you know what to do now?”

“Yes! Yes!” The police officers rushed to bow before Mike. “Forgive us for not recognizing you, Mr. Moyes. We will make up for it.” 

“Good,” Mike smirked. 

“Arrest that bastard!” They immediately arrested Chris who was already awake but weak. Before everyone, he was taken out and the confession moment continued.

“Let me out of here! I didn't do anything wrong!” Chris banged on the cell bars, wanting to get out. It had been hours since they locked him up and though he had been patient, the police officers were not attending to him. 

Now, he couldn't wait anymore. 

“Let me out!” He continued. He had regained his strength and though he was still in pain, he could at least demand his release. 

“Will you shut up your mouth!” One officer marched toward him, banging his baton on the bars. 

“Why? I should be out by now.” Chris countered. 

“Oh, you want to be out?” The police officer sneered. “Your bail is $5000. Pay up and you will be out of here immediately.” 

“What?” Chris was shocked and furious. “Why would you demand that much for a bail? Is this a fraud?” 

“Don’t you have the money?” The officer was impatient. “If you don't have the money, then rot in there.” 

He was about to leave when Chris stopped him, dragging his collar through the gaps in the cell bars. 

“I didn't do anything wrong.” He glared, his eyes red. “Mike also attacked me. Why isn't he here? Huh?”

“You bastard! Let go of me!” The officer cracked Chris’s hand, releasing himself. “You attacked an officer of the law, you will pay for this.” 

“Do you know why you are being kept here?” The officer yelled angrily. “It's because you are poor! Mike is Mr. Moyes’ son. And you, you are the son of nobody! Nobody is going to bail you out and I will make sure you rot here.”

“You piece of thrash!” The officer walked off. 

Chris was left in his cell, feeling disappointed and angry. Why was the world against him? He was facing all these hurdles and hardships because he was poor! He realized that was why Melissa even denied him. 

After all, who would want to identify with a poor man? 

As he was lost deep in his thoughts, he heard footsteps and the door to his cell opened. 

“What is it now?” Chris looked up and saw that it was another police officer. 

“Chris Westminster, you can go now. Someone has paid your bail.”
